Thieves Hand Sanitizer

With flu season just around the corner, and the unavailability of hand sanitizer; we have reinvented the thieves classic blend in an alcohol and aloe-based hand sanitizer.
Our packaging and ingredients are all NZ made.

The use of thieves oil dates all the way back to the year 1413. The time of the infamous Bubonic Plague (aka The Black Death) that devastated a large portion of France.
The Black Death spread like wild-fire amongst the citizens, and the doctors alike.
It seemed impossible to be in the vicinity without contracting it.
During this time, however, four thieves were captured and charged for stealing from the sick and dying. The thieves never contracted the plague, despite the close contact with the Black-Death victims.

In the 15th century, the crime these four men committed was punishable by burning alive. The judge was so intrigued by how these men had stayed immune to this terrible disease, that he told them if they shared their secret he would spare them of the punishment.

The Thieves told the judge their secret: they were perfume and spice merchants who were unemployed due to the closure of the sea ports and the devastation of the plague. They had prepared an essential oil recipe that when applied to their hands, ears, temples, feet & a mask over their mouths, kept them safe from infection.
The judge stayed true to his word. The men were not burned alive, but instead hanged for their crimes.

Traditional Thieves Oil can be used for more than just the Bubonic Plague due to its now well-known anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties!
